Road directions

Brockhall is off the A5 between Weedon and Kilsby.From Weedon, head down the A5 towards Lutterworth. You will not need to continue down this road for too long. After passing two turns to Dodford on the left, you need to look out for 'The Dial House' on the left. You need to take a right hand turn shortly after this. Heading down the narrow track you will come to the bridge which crosses the railway.

You should be able to park you car on the right hand side of the track before the bridge.

Public transport

Stagecoach services D1/D2 (direct) or D3 (via Bugbrooke) operate three times an hour from Northampton (bridge outside station) to Weedon crossroads from where it would be about a 25-30 minute walk along the A5 to the location.
